Three Tennessee Getaways for Wintering Well

While many seasoned travelers rush to tropical destinations to escape the winter chill, others seek closer-to-home getaways. These Tennessee properties don’t just offer a much-needed respite. They wholeheartedly embrace what winter has to offer, encouraging guests to rest, hibernate and connect with the season — and with each other. 

Bolt Farm Treehouse

Two hours from Nashville sits Bolt Farm Treehouse, a 55-acre mountainside wellness retreat designed with couples in mind. Its private, modern villas are built to feature the surrounding natural world, allowing guests to unplug from the day-to-day and enjoy the bucolic backdrop of the Sequatchie Valley. 

To provide warmth in an otherwise frigid season, the property is offering a Winter Escape for Two — an all-encompassing $397 package that includes a luxury villa, spa credit, complimentary Wellness Haven access, and a stay’s worth of chef-made meals, compatible with each unit’s kitchenette. 

Guests can enjoy amenities such as hot tubs, outdoor showers, fire pits, standalone tubs and even nostalgic features like record players and movie projectors. For further relaxation, the Cliffside Wellness Haven offers hot springs, a mirrored sauna, cold plunges and steam rooms — an ideal refuge from dropping temps. 

Couples can book their trips now without worrying about dates. By choosing to pay now and plan later, guests leave the fine-tuning up to a trip concierge. For more information, visit https://explore.boltfarmtreehouse.com/winter-escape. 

Southall Farm & Inn 

Set in Franklin’s lush countryside, Southall Farm & Inn offers a hygge hideaway for those looking to escape winter blues. With 16 cottages featuring in-room fireplaces and forest views, the property offers plenty of spots to cozy up. 

Colder months are prime for rejuvenation — and Southall invites guests to take part in this transformation at the on-site spa. Inspired by matriarch Laura Mishkin’s insight as a professional nutritionist, The Spa at Southall seeks to honor the cycles of nature and the power of plants — two philosophies Laura holds dear. Indulging in organic salt and mineral soaks, and decompressing in saunas and steam rooms are must-do activities. 

Michelin-awarded food offerings also set Southall apart. Seed-to-fork dining options include the site’s signature restaurant January, as well as Sojouner — a laidback guest favorite for breakfast and lunch. (And if you’re on the hunt for last-minute Valentine’s Day plans, Southall is hosting a Valentine’s dinner show, featuring a four-course family-style dinner and music by Lauren Vale.) Stays can be booked at https://www.southalltn.com/. 

The Joseph Nashville

Located in the heart of downtown, The Joseph Nashville is offering a special Alpine Reverie room package inspired by the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano Cortina, making the property an ideal staycation spot. Rooted in the founding Pizzuti family’s heritage, the experience seeks to present winter through an Italian lens. 

Upon arrival, guests will receive gold medal-inspired chocolate mendiants paired with a bottle of Poderi del Leone Valpolicella Ripasso DOC — a rich red wine straight from the hills of Veneto. Revelers will also receive a $50 credit toward Yolan's Aperitivo Alpino, a culinary expression of Northern Italy’s dining scene. Think missoltini from Lake Como, gnocchi adorned with soft Fioretta cheese and crisp polenta accented with Bitto from the Valtellina valley. 

Along with themed delights, guests can, of course, take advantage of The Joseph’s year-round amenities, like the on-site spa, Rose (which offers many seasonal packages, including a luxe Winter Glow Day spa experience). 

Locals and tourists alike can book their stay at https://www.thejosephnashville.com/ to experience Italian hospitality — and cheer on their favorite athletes in style.
